I'm also on 12.3.1 and haven't noticed any problems with anything I've 
installed from MacPorts.  However there is at least one thing Apple 
installed that depends on Python.  The Automator action "Combine PDF 
Pages" fails because it tries to use the copy of Python that has been 
removed.  See for example 
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253764288.  If this matters to you 
don't upgrade to 12.3.
